This artwork by Thomas Uwins achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in June 2002. In the British Art on Paper including Original Book Illustrations auction, the work A woman seated in a doorway making lace with a cat at her feet sold for GBP 2,820.00 (€ 4,361.90) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 1,200.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Thomas Uwins - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Returning from School, which sold at auction in February 2003 for GBP 7,767.50 (€ 11,340.30).
